It amazes me that a phrase like "I know you want" can be criticized so harshly for promoting sexual assault. Where was the Beatles criticism for "Well she just 17 if you know what I mean"?
Man this is an amazing interview I love how Pharrell really stuck it out and just got down to discussing things rather then trying to shut down the interviewer. Was enjoyable to see.
I also love how Pharrell takes advantage of trying to give the interviewer positive feedback when trying to explain the question to him instead of negative feedback, because if you don’t pay attention and keep this up, you’ll get in trouble. Don’t do that.
☯ИИΙΙΚΚ☯ The funny thing is that you're completely right, that's definitely what he is haha. What he does brings in views and he knows it. All these people commenting and saying why does he even do interviews he makes people mad etc just don't get it lol
Keith Gerholt You should watch Channel 4 News' other videos with this interviewer. Look up Robert Downey Jr and Quentin Tarantinos interviews with this guy. Robert walks out on him and Quentin gets extremely pissed. It's hilarious. Makes me wonder why they would even post these videos on here, how embarrassing.
@@JM-tj5qm i think there is a difference between doing whats in the song, which is consensual, and straight up groping someone without consent. What I'm saying is that Pharrell probably meant that he never touched someone with sexual intent or harm
I dont get why Pharrel has to hide the fact that the context of the song is sexual. The fact that its sexual does not make it a bad thing. It is not suppresing women to say "I know you want it". If a girl sang those lines, would men be offended? I doubt it.
It’s because this is a phrase rapists use in retaliation to someone giving signs they don’t want to continue - ‘I have to go home’, ‘I’m not sure’ etc. A man who responds with ‘I know you want it’ and pressures her, isn’t allowing her to consent - it’s forced consent - eg: rape. Hate to break it to all you guys that you’ve likely raped someone
He is actually very respectable. He got a lot of publicity for his upfront attitude previously and I think channel 4 wanted to hop onto that. This is journalism, there was nothing personal going on, it is just what the big news was at the time.
@@AramiMedia stupid questions is journalism? Because, he always tries to ask "intelligent" and "profound" questions, and it always backfires. And oh, he always get DESTROYED in each interview lol
But that’s not the point, The point is not only did he star and a music video that had naked woman to exploit themselves but he also toke part in ripping off marvin Gaye DONT YOU SEE IT?!
I feel like this dude is never fully prepared to engage in the topics that he brings up. He's often flustered, fumbling for words. Come on, man! If you want to have this sort of conversations with the people you are interviewing, be ready to discuss it properly!
@@ameyaes I see what your saying, but in this guy's case, I don't think so. All interviews I saw with him, I felt unconfortable; I always cringe at his attempts of trying to have these deep debates
Tellas Aftershow Not happening his questions are approved by the network probably got a raise from asking difficult questions but mainly interviews political figures and serious topics it's a popularity need to know how the industry works the fact that people know about him even raises his profile including viwes and us commenting even
Ah yes let’s fire the interviewer for asking a question that wondered about by millions of people and reported on in every major news publication in the world
JESUS CHRIST, Pharell was RAZOR SHARP. He was able to READILY separate what might SEEM like a sexist implication of a line he wrote and the thought process of a man who knows the social context he is in, and thus makes a tongue-in-cheek guess that a woman "wants it". I'm completely feminist and I have to say, it's extremely bothersome when leftist/liberal people mistake sexism for contextual interaction. "I know you want it" might be a total shot in the dark, but saying it's sexist or that it promotes sexism is going WAY past the line.
Bob Chipman Yeah, except I felt the need to, so I did. I fucking hate the way your brain works and your parasitic existence needs to go away with all the other archaic ways of thinking.
Pharrell is the epitome of cool. This interviewer is the epitome of a tool. He doesn't even listen to what Pharrell is saying. He just wants to spout random, controversial questions.
I think he just likes to ask difficult questions, instead of the usual questions that everyone asks these celebrities. I think it's fun, at least in a situation like this, when the artist actually likes talking about the controversial stuff.
Interviewer: So Pharrell told me to ask you what your line on Blurred Lines meant? you know the part about "I'll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two" TI: It meant exactly what it meant PARTNA!!!! Interviewer: Ok thank you for your time o.O
Damn, the times have definitely changed, it's weird seeing a corner of the internet actually defending this song given it's the complete opposite elsewhere. Pharrell even said a few years after this interview that he regrets it
Of course he regrets it, but not because of the line or anything like that. Because of what it got turned into because apparently, very few people actually have fun when they're getting intimate with their partner. Then the whole lawsuit thing with the song, which by the way, the judge got totally wrong because they didn't even follow copyright law guidelines when issuing their verdict, plus mentioning the vibe of the song as similar is completely irrelevant because a vibe cannot be copyrighted. Words, note sequence from strings, vocals, those can be copyrighted. Rhythm section and grooves cannot be copyrighted, yet he lost the lawsuit because the judge found he infringed on copyright due to the rhythm and groove of the song, as well as the vibe. It's extremely fascinating to me that federal judges here in America know very little about laws that surround media entertainment when it comes to music or anticompetitive and downright anticonsumer moves in other entertainment industries, which allow these terrible lawsuits to go in favor of the ones that either have no feasible claim to copyright or companies like Microsoft admitting in internal company emails to 'spending the competition out of the industry', as well as not even weigh all the facts of the case they heard or even acknowledge those facts. At least with the anticompetitive blunders, you can say 'well, that judge definitely got some payola'. When it comes to the constant mistakes on the music side of it, the only reason is incompetence.
Krishnan Guru-Murthy is pathetic, I really would like to have seen Robert Downey Jr stand up to this poser "journalist", the way Pharrell masterfully demonstrated.
It's interesting how many people here think Pharrell did well here because I don't think he did at all. I feel like they were having two different conversations. Krishnan Guru-Murthy was asking him one question and Pharrell was answering a different one that was more convenient. If he doesn't want to address this, that's his prerogative, but don't pretend he addressed this straight up and that it was some kind of 'win'.As soon as you're refusing to acknowledge the difference between 'I know you want it' in a sexual situation and when selling a car, you're not interested in a serious conversation IMO. Or when you're trying to claim the topless women in the video are being objectified. Just OWN IT. These mind games he attempts to play are nonsensical.
Even though Pharrell claims to not have touched the models, the way he was looking at them in certain scenes is very suggestive. "I know you want it" means many things but 90% of the meaning is the context and body language. Also it doesnt matter who wrote what, at the end, all participated in this songs production and have to agree to what they're singing about.
Even though Krishnan is an idiot interviewer, i have seen worse, some interviewers like to talk over you and cut you off after being proved wrong e.g. Bill O'Reily, Pharrell clearly owned him here quite easily but i enjoy Krishnan's interviews just to see him get served.
I'm certainly No music .." Guru "...or anything like that , but are people REALLY making a Big Deal about the lyrics to THIS song..???? WTH..??? Of ALL the vulgar , violent and incredibly explicit lyrics out there in Today's Mainstream Music....... Blurred Lines is Getting BOMBARDED..??? Just seems Really STUPID to pick THIS song to Attack , when there are song's that have lyrics 100% MORE OFFENSIVE...?!?..... Oh well , ....JMO.
Bullshit interview. Leaving PC aside for a minute, we can all agree that, at times. women want it, men don't want it. Men want it, women don't want it. Often men want it, and women want it too! Why can't we be honest?? If I say to a girl, "I know you want it", then she says, "No I don't". OK! Message received. What the haters are saying is that the guy who says, "I know you want it", will then go on to force himself on her whatever she says. Nonsense! It's just a line. A come on. Part of the mating ritual.
Another song ruined by the PC brigade, and the fact that Pharrell is so calm just proves that there's nothing disturbing about the song. Usually, liars will resort to aggressive statements if they're to convince someone.
I loved how Pharrel made fun of the interviewer. Like seriously guys, why do you still have that horrible interviewer? he give to you a bad image of your show
Let’s admit it , we or on Pharrell side because we hate the interviewer and not because of his argument.. I don’t like the interviewer at all but he had a point here.
@@jenniferwalker69420 Your opinion and you are welcome to it. My musical tastes are broad and varied and I find value in much of his work. My comment wasn't just about his music, it was also about his workflow as an artist and producer. He's done much more than we know.
@@jenniferwalker69420 So what if he were? We all have a right to our opinions. Far as I know, he's not used his opinions to harm anyone. Most of your information, like mine, is filtered through the media which isn't always complete truth. Unless you know him personally, have spent more than a week with the man, you really have no clue what you are saying and you have pre-judged based on half told filtered "truth". Try to find the positive, there's more things in this life to worry about.
I was going to say that Mr Guru-Murthy needs to work a lot more before an interview, but it's nonsense. There is no amount of preparation that is ever going to help this journalist in a war of words with such talented and smart artists. They can see right through him, they are 3 steps ahead at all times, they dismantle his ill-advised line of questioning and set the record straight. Only way out of this while keeping face is to pretend it was done on purpose to make the artist look awesome. It sure does.
Pharrell, how foolish you sound when you bring up a car salesman! And then to go completely outside the context of the song itself and the interviewer's questions. And then to try to distance yourself from the song by saying he didn't write this line or that line - he really sounds so smarmy and foolish. After watching this (and after seeing him blatantly lie in his deposition on the lawsuit over Blurred LInes) I have ZERO use for him.
"I know you want it" But the problem is that I can never know if I really know, I can only think I know. So suppose "I think you want it" would be more accurate and more acceptable, but music isn't about being accurate.
I think Pharrell was well within his rights to defend himself given their implication that his song was promoting misogyny and sexual assault. He did pretty well too.
It’s such a shame that a brilliant song was ripped into by many idiotic people and these days you have songs like ‘WAP’ and ‘Need To Know’ for example, that have similar lyrics but are not criticised. I don’t see anything wrong with any of these songs. They are all written innocently.
Oh, please. The interviewer enjoyed every minute of the video. I am a female and I loved it too. I guess nakedness is ok in some circumstances but not ok in others.
Just pointing out, this was a big issue and he will have had PR people coaching him day and night about exactly the right thing to say for every imaginable question. (What you think is completely up to you, but that should be taken into account methinks :/)
I understand what Farrell says. Women have a sexual desire just like men and just like any other human being. However, the language in the lyrics is ambiguous and did not deliver the message they meant to send. The problem is that Farrell, Thicke & the other one, don't remember his name, sorry, are not men enough to admit their mistake. And this happens very often, men think that when women say no, they are just faking it.. Men think that women do want them but they're just playing games and that when most rapes happen.
I feel like you either "liked" this video because you liked to see Pharell stick to his guns and talk back to a pompous interviewer or you "disliked it" because you hate the pompous interviewer.
Why is there any controversy over this song? He never says he's taking anything by force without any female saying it's okay. It is entertainment so why is anyone trying to ruin that? There are songs that use more explicit and demeaning material... it's not hurting anyone and Pharell shouldn't have to defend it. Period! If you don't like it don't listen to it. If anything Pharrell is the one artist who is stands for equality and women's rights more so than any other...
Every interview on this channel makes the interviewer look like a fool. Prepare yourself for your interviews channel 4. Ask the right questions. Pushing Robert Downing Jr. About his past will make him leave. Accusing Pharrell of harassment rather than simply asking will make him sassy. Dude held his composure very well though. Applause to you Pharrell. (Apologies if I spelt that wrong)
Did they really have that conversation? Even if the line was used as a sexual innuendo, that doesn't equate to a man raping a girl. Or to be less gender specific, one person raping another. watch this... A: "I know you want it." B: "No, I don't." A: "Oh, okay." You can still say no, no matter the situation. what's the problem?
Guru always gets dealt with. I'm neither a fan of the song or video, but Pharrell makes some valid points. And is probably the main writer, bar t,I. Verse.
Yeah it was.. considering I only just caught this interview now..I been listening to this song for ages..I'm a in my 60s..and still love it.. Pharrell Williams..love it...Tell the guy...Get a grip..it's a song...da best..
I dont think it was meant to be a rapey sounding song, definitely sexual, plus the unrated nude video, and what Thicke did to the model, and some of the lyrics definitely made it sound like it

Bill Smith Still better than Guru-Murthy's.

both are huge morons

@@jenniferwalker69420 So what if he were? We all have a right to our opinions. Far as I know, he's not used his opinions to harm anyone. Most of your information, like mine, is filtered through the media which isn't always complete truth. Unless you know him personally, have spent more than a week with the man, you really have no clue what you are saying and you have pre-judged based on half told filtered "truth". Try to find the positive, there's more things in this life to worry about.
@No U STFU you incel I bet you say that all council estates are bad
I was going to say that Mr Guru-Murthy needs to work a lot more before an interview, but it's nonsense. There is no amount of preparation that is ever going to help this journalist in a war of words with such talented and smart artists. They can see right through him, they are 3 steps ahead at all times, they dismantle his ill-advised line of questioning and set the record straight. Only way out of this while keeping face is to pretend it was done on purpose to make the artist look awesome. It sure does.
Pharrell, how foolish you sound when you bring up a car salesman! And then to go completely outside the context of the song itself and the interviewer's questions. And then to try to distance yourself from the song by saying he didn't write this line or that line - he really sounds so smarmy and foolish. After watching this (and after seeing him blatantly lie in his deposition on the lawsuit over Blurred LInes) I have ZERO use for him.
I’ve never been a big fan of his music but damn, Pharrell is a great dude.
"I know you want it" But the problem is that I can never know if I really know, I can only think I know. So suppose "I think you want it" would be more accurate and more acceptable, but music isn't about being accurate.
Pharell here presumes that women can't assault anyone. His reference to good women is also off too. Disappointing
Krishnan ain't got shit and he knows he just fishing in dark trying to get Pharrel to slip up but Pharrel is too smart for Krishnan
after listening to this .i totally love pharrell
Lol, thry disabled the comments and the ratings from the RDJ interview video.
I think Pharrell was well within his rights to defend himself given their implication that his song was promoting misogyny and sexual assault. He did pretty well too.
It’s such a shame that a brilliant song was ripped into by many idiotic people and these days you have songs like ‘WAP’ and ‘Need To Know’ for example, that have similar lyrics but are not criticised. I don’t see anything wrong with any of these songs. They are all written innocently.
Written innocently🤣🤣
Where's the full interview this is hilourous!
2:02 hahaha fucking priceless.
Oh, please. The interviewer enjoyed every minute of the video. I am a female and I loved it too. I guess nakedness is ok in some circumstances but not ok in others.
Pharrell just said "WHOOOO" entire song and got the controversy side 😂😂
Williams played this guy phenomenally, but realistically, It was a straight rip of Marvin Gaye's song with the lyrics twisted around.
lol this interviewer just keep grasping at anything to push his agenda of controversy. He does not even listen to what the other person has to say.
Just pointing out, this was a big issue and he will have had PR people coaching him day and night about exactly the right thing to say for every imaginable question.
(What you think is completely up to you, but that should be taken into account methinks :/)
Funny how Pharrell has since admitted he was wrong
He understands how the song made men believe that they were sexually entitled.
the interviewer is the same one who pissed off robert downey junior
OMG XD
4:00
THAT KILLED ME
I understand what Farrell says. Women have a sexual desire just like men and just like any other human being. However, the language in the lyrics is ambiguous and did not deliver the message they meant to send. The problem is that Farrell, Thicke & the other one, don't remember his name, sorry, are not men enough to admit their mistake. And this happens very often, men think that when women say no, they are just faking it.. Men think that women do want them but they're just playing games and that when most rapes happen.
I'm with Pharell on this one.
I feel like you either "liked" this video because you liked to see Pharell stick to his guns and talk back to a pompous interviewer or you "disliked it" because you hate the pompous interviewer.
Why is there any controversy over this song? He never says he's taking anything by force without any female saying it's okay. It is entertainment so why is anyone trying to ruin that? There are songs that use more explicit and demeaning material... it's not hurting anyone and Pharell shouldn't have to defend it. Period! If you don't like it don't listen to it. If anything Pharrell is the one artist who is stands for equality and women's rights more so than any other...
Every interview on this channel makes the interviewer look like a fool. Prepare yourself for your interviews channel 4. Ask the right questions. Pushing Robert Downing Jr. About his past will make him leave. Accusing Pharrell of harassment rather than simply asking will make him sassy. Dude held his composure very well though. Applause to you Pharrell. (Apologies if I spelt that wrong)
Did they really have that conversation? Even if the line was used as a sexual innuendo, that doesn't equate to a man raping a girl. Or to be less gender specific, one person raping another.
watch this...
A: "I know you want it."
B: "No, I don't."
A: "Oh, okay."
You can still say no, no matter the situation.
what's the problem?
Krishnan: “y-y-yeah but, say the thing I want you to say”
This interviewer is so revolting to me. Pharrell outclassed him by miles.
I personally like the song. It's just too bad that they didn't make arrangements beforehand with the Gaye family to license the music.
Just fire that interview!!
Guru always gets dealt with. I'm neither a fan of the song or video, but Pharrell makes some valid points. And is probably the main writer, bar t,I. Verse.
Hahaha Pharrell is the man for this one. dropping knowledge on this man.
It feels like Pharrell was the interviewer.
Pharrell handled it really well. It was actually very funny!😂
Yeah it was.. considering I only just caught this interview now..I been listening to this song for ages..I'm a in my 60s..and still love it.. Pharrell Williams..love it...Tell the guy...Get a grip..it's a song...da best..
I dont think it was meant to be a rapey sounding song, definitely sexual, plus the unrated nude video, and what Thicke did to the model, and some of the lyrics definitely made it sound like it
